Chapter 404: Chapter 379: Take Off, Send Me to See Zhi Zhi

Ji Xizhi had been standing in the mascot costume for over two hours, drenched in sweat.

Combined with the inconvenience of moving in the costume, she had to cooperate silently and pose as they wanted. Even though Ji Xizhi was quite strong, she couldn’t help but gasp for breath, not just because she was tired, but also because it was stifling.

It wasn’t that Ji Xizhi intended to conceal her identity, but because she was a part-time mascot, and the crew needed to film on-site. If she revealed herself suddenly, it might affect others. After thinking it over, this was the most prudent choice.

After all the graduation ceremony processes concluded, Ji Xizhi dragged her heavy steps away from the backstage.

The girl from earlier had long been waiting backstage to meet someone. As soon as she saw Ji Xizhi come out, she hurried over.

“Zhi Zhi, how are you, are you alright?!”

Ji Zhi didn’t have time to respond; she just waved her hand and then removed the headgear from her head.

Scarce air rushed into her nostrils, and Ji Zhi gasped forcefully. Her messy hairline was beaded with large droplets of sweat, dripping to the ground as she bent over.

“I should have taken over for you sooner, it’s really suffocating in there…”

The girl’s voice was filled with regret.

Ji Xizhi panted for quite a while before she straightened up: “It’s okay, I just need a rest.”

They had agreed to switch every hour, but…

Ji Xizhi overheard the graduates talking while lining up!

Photos, holding hands, hugging were normal, but there were even ridiculous requests for princess carries later!

Since she’d already come, Ji Xizhi thought she might as well fulfill all their requests.

When the former mascot girl came over to switch shifts, Ji Xizhi still had a senior on her back in the costume, ready for takeoff!

The senior was shouting, “Fly, Gigi, take me to see Zhi Zhi~~~!”

The girl who intended to switch shifts: “……”

Is it possible that once they take off, they’ll be further from their target?

In the end, Ji Xizhi didn’t let the girl switch shifts. Mostly because she’d unlocked all the bizarre photo poses the students had in mind, Ji Xizhi could do it, but the girl might not be able to. Besides, she shouldn’t have someone else pamper her own fans. So, she just decided to finish it herself.

The girl watched Ji Xizhi look so exhausted, and her idea of wanting a princess carry gradually faded.

Let’s leave some life in the idol! This is a personal idol, one hundred percent pure!

“Zhi Zhi, let me take you backstage to rest; there’s water back there!”

The girl took Ji Xizhi’s arm and led her back to the backstage room of the graduation ceremony.

Since Ji Xizhi left backstage until now, many people had already left. Most of the staff from the “Rival in Love” crew were pulled to the front to help film, leaving only Director Jin and others backstage.

Ji Xizhi was exhausted and didn’t have time to take off the costume before going in.

Director Jin’s eyes were on the monitor when suddenly a giant mascot walked in, startling her. Seeing the mascot’s head, she was even more startled.

“Ji Xizhi? Where did you go?” Director Jin was stunned.

Ji Xizhi opened a bottle of water and casually sat on a chair, “Went to get a side job.”

Director Jin: “??? What?”

She was watching carefully, and Ji Xizhi still managed to get a side job?

Director Jin’s first thought was, did some shameless director secretly try to poach her?

But seeing Ji Xizhi in the mascot costume, she realized and swallowed back the curses about to spill out of her mouth. For more chapters visıt NovєlFіre.net

“Hey? Isn’t this the school mascot you’re wearing?”

Ji Xizhi nodded: “Yeah, just helping out playing the school mascot.”

Director Jin: “?…!!!”

Before Ji Zhi returned backstage, “Rival in Love” had already started filming. They even filmed segments related to the school mascot.

Director Jin had just been joking with the assistant director about how dedicated the school mascot performer was.

Turns out the dedicated one was from their crew!!!

Director Jin immediately instructed the staff.

“Keep all the segments involving the mascot just now! Save them all!!!”

The segments featuring Ji Xizhi in “Rival in Love” in the mascot role, there you have it? Perfect!

Ji Xizhi chugged an entire bottle of water, not understanding why Director Jin was so excited, and tossed the empty bottle into the designated trash bin before getting up again.

The girl who came in with Ji Xizhi was different from her; as soon as she entered, she consciously avoided the filming area of the “Rival in Love” crew and went directly behind the stage curtain, talking with a guy in charge of props.

The mascot side job time was up, but the girl came backstage to check in with the person in charge for confirmation about handing over. If the handover was okay, she would return the costume.

Originally, Ji Xizhi was supposed to wait, but since Director Jin was busy with the filming, it wasn’t convenient for Ji Xizhi to sit there in the costume. Moreover, the girl seemed to be having a difficult conversation with the person in charge not far away, so Ji Xizhi got up and walked towards them.

Director Jin saw Ji Xizhi heading over but didn’t stop her.

She had planned to give her the night off, and now she really didn’t have time to keep track of Ji Xizhi.

Because the filming part of the crew was enough to give her a headache.

The filming of “Rival in Love” tonight was utilizing the graduation ceremony site, and by now, most of the scenes were already shot.

The only thing troubling Director Jin was the final scene, which she shot several times, but none satisfied her.

This scene mainly featured the female protagonist, played by Shen Yeyi, giving a speech on stage, followed by all the graduates standing up and cheering, with the male protagonist among them, having a slow-motion close-up of him standing and clapping.

This scene wasn’t difficult to shoot, but Director Jin valued it a lot. She shot it repeatedly but felt the emotions weren’t quite right.

It wasn’t that Shen Yeyi and Qiu Hu’s emotions weren’t fitting, but that the students below were too apathetic.

You couldn’t blame those students either. After several hours of ceremony, they were worn out; cheering was a stretch.

The first time Director Jin was dissatisfied, she hoped Shen Yeyi and Qiu Hu could stir up some atmosphere, retrying twice.

But each time was worse.

During this time, Director Jin even thought of having Ji Xizhi go out and do something to stir the emotions, but considering the students already knew about Ji Xizhi being with their crew, it probably wouldn’t help much.

After much thought, she couldn’t find a better idea.

Finally, even the assistant director suggested to Director Jin, “Director, if it really doesn’t work out, shall we just use the first scene? If we keep this up, the students probably won’t hold up!”

Hearing this, Director Jin was ready to compromise. Even though the crew had an arrangement with the school, keeping so many students there without letting them leave would surely raise complaints.

Director Jin forcibly resisted the urge to pursue perfection and said, “Alright, let’s just————”

Before she finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted in the center of the stage.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!”
